Don't shoot the messenger. I use evolution. Here is what bugs me and someone who is in aposition to recommend evolution over a rival. I'm just telling you these are real annoyances. For instance. I often leave evolution running 24 hours a day on my workstation at work because then it nicely filters incoming emails into real imap folders. Junk mail does not get filtered into a real imap folder so as soon as I connect with my webmail client, spam gets splattered back into my inbox. If close evo when I leave work I have to manually move emails around with the web client and I get the spam as well. So this is a real annoyance and blaming a user because the software is screwing them is not the way to make a world-beating product. It is not like you have to second guess the user. 99.9% of the time they NEVER want to see the spam again (or at all).
